which kind of makes me wonder, if Enstrom won't come back after this season, who will likely end up being here permanently Poolman or Niku
While we can't force them to retire here, I'd expect both are in the Jets long-term plans. Why wouldn't they be?

Any guess how big this grows if the Jets continue to do well?
They might need room for 15,000-20,000 by next round already. Esp if the weather keeps up.
9000 for game 2 of the opening round when the high was 0.

Hasn't Finch had run ins with the law before as well? Or was that Rainey?
From a post of mine last August....
"Witnesses told officers that Rainey and the victim got into an argument over Rainey's cellphone," the police statement read. "The female victim entered the vehicle of Rainey's roommate, and Rainey confronted her on the passenger side of the vehicle, and began pulling her out of the vehicle. Witnesses then observed Rainey slap the victim across the face with an open hand.
His troubles started in college, at the University of Florida in 2010, and have continued as he hopped from the Steelers, to the Colts, and finally landed at the Cardinals last week. He's been dismissed from every team he's played on since college.
His first arrest in Gainesville, Florida, in 2010 was for a stalking charge. Police said he sent his girlfriend a text that said, "Time to Die ***** u and ur???" He pleaded guilty.

Chris Cuthbert would be a big improvement on Paul Romanuk. He's definitely the Rod Black of Sportsnet.
An upturned broom with a bucket for a head would be better than him.
Gord Miller would be welcome, too. NBC has some good crews this year actually.

Part of the problem is that we are spoiled with homer broadcasting all year courtesy of Dennis Beyak... but I do agree those two have been insufferable at times... but don't worry, the leafs homerism is still alive a well (for 2 more games anyways)
The problem is simply the B network in Canada has national rights, and for some reason they employ (mostly) C level talent.
You could put together quite the broadcast crew just with guys sitting on their couch this spring.

Geeeez move back to Winnipeg already.

Game 1 thoughts....
- Heck of a road game by Minny....still not enough. I think we've got an even better game 2 in us.
- Dubnyk was on his game, no shocker. Rightfully got the jeers from the crowd. Because it's the postseason & that's what fans should do.
- Street party was a blast, huge props to all who put it on. We'll need another block or 2 open moving forward though.
- St.Laurent is a playoff ref?!? Were no MJHL refs available? Awful, awful crew. Those linesman should be unemployed.
- Not sure how the noise translated on TV.... truthfully, I think the 15K & change have a lot more to offer. Waiting forever for Rogers' broadcast to start kinda subdued everyone. We fans need to get back to 2011 & 2012 noise / engagement levels. If you showed up & wore white, good on you. I'm sure TNSE appreciates the support. Now... support the players. Far too many people sitting on their hands for my liking.
- Our 4th line is going to be a force all playoffs.
- Laine is just a phenom. Dude gets better the bigger the stage. His postgame quote make it here yet? Boys play in the fall. Men play in the spring.

“A Dry Run” will follow the Abraham Lincoln and George Washington Battalions, both part of the International Brigade that fought in the Spanish Civil War, from their arrival in 1937 and first bloody battle in the Jarama Valley until their departure in 1939. The show offers a “compelling and tragic narrative,” Simon said, adding that the “Spanish struggle against fascism and the misuse of capitalism as a bulwark to totalitarianism” represent “the preeminent political narrative of the 20th century and of our time still.”

that was a beautiful Vigil, and I just found out that a second player had been released from the hospital

This is a great idea, I will do this for sure on thursday (I work in a school)
We've got that exact sign up at our office.
Mom put out one of my old sticks outside the front door yesterday. Hope it's still there.

So who is the Wild going to pick to try to get under the skin of Laine?
I pick Tanev and Buff as our agitators.
Charlie Coyle would be the guy I'd be watching my back for.
Maybe Foligno or Winnik... but I can't see them keeping up with Thorburn, let alone our current FW group.

Our LHD is pretty thin but man u take Suter away from the Wild and UGLY. Jets should dominate.
Just looked it up.... Soucy (3) and Seeler (22) have a whopping 25 games of NHL experience.

The report on the enemy....
-
Yep....what a depth chart alright!!
If we HAVE to be picky... and I've liked Morrow thus far.... but D is a tad thin. But that's being really picky.
I suspect if we go far, we'll see Tobias Funke Enstrom in over Morrow. Poolman seems competent enough to be our 7/8 guy.
Impressive lineup.

So, far be it to complain about making the playoffs, especially as I'll be there this year as opposed to 2015....
That said, little bummed about the early start times / catering to the East. I get the why, doesn't mean I have to like it. 2 central teams playing. Games at 7:00 or 7:30 are most fan-friendly, I.E. sensible.
And yeah, I think most are counting down the days until Rogers national TV deal ends. Obviously they're vastly outmatched by TSN' on air talent. Damn shame to have a TON of great hockey ppl essentially off 'til the summer while Spengler Cup regulars cover Canadian teams in the playoffs.
Here's one for us to ponder. How many Sat night games do the Jets get this postseason?? Methinks we'll virtually have to make the Cup final before Rogers sees us worthy of their Holy night broadcast.

They needed to keep Statsny. Dumb move on their part, but one I'm real happy about.
Disagree (obvs now it's easier to) - but I'd have said the same even if they squeaked in.
They weren't winning a Cup this year. There was little chance they'd even be sniffing at a Conference title.
GM smartly assessed that & obtained assets for a piece likely gone at season's end.
'Twas a solid trade from both sides.

Stamkos done for the season? because usually if a player is taken off the ice on a stretcher that's bad news
Where did you read he was stretchered off the ice? He was in 2016 when he broke his leg. Haven't seen any reference to the stretcher for this injury.

I don't know how they could reboot Married With Children without so many people whining and complaining about Al and his behaviour...
I wonder if Seinfeld will ever be rebooted.....
My initial reaction is "OHHH god, NO!"
Thennnn I remember how awesome the crew was on Curb, and I think they could pull it off.
I don't know....leave well enough alone. The best show in TV history doesn't need to come back.
